Located in a key of coral origin in the center of the Los Roques Archipelago, the camp was designed to allow tourists to enjoy the place and spend the night, without adversely affecting the extraordinary natural surroundings. The project implements provisional architecture of great simplicity and low environmental impact, built from biodegradable materials, wood and canvases, and using traditional methods of assembly.

The permanent buildings were located in the gaps left by the existing sand mangroves, to take advantage of the views and airstreams, while also enabling servicing and giving privacy to the 25 tents that surround them. The tents were designed to withstand high winds, are removable, and are composed of double tops, double canvas walls, and wooden venetian blind doors and adjustable windows, providing good cover from the sun, ventilation, and optimal natural climatic comfort both during the day and at night.

The campsite generates its own electricity and desalinated water. Bio-trickling filters, composed of large coral stone cylinders, treat wastewater. The treated water is then used for irrigation of the surrounding vegetation (which is totally native). The roofs of the permanent buildings allow collecting rainwater into underground tanks, for use in case of emergencies.

This project represented the first planned attempt to achieve an architectural insertion that is both modern and sensible to nature, in a national park in Venezuela. The ancient Arabic and Chinese nomad tents and the temporary housings of the first inhabitants of the archipelago, the "Caribes" Indians, were inspiring elements to create a sustainable development, that combines a habitat of greater ecological respect with the limited but unprejudiced use of modern technologies.

Five permanent buildings integrated the project: the “main module” (with reception, administration, restaurant, nursing, other services, and 8 rooms with bathroom), the “beach module” (with cafeteria, and restrooms with showers and changing rooms), the “employees module” (with rooms, warehouses and toilets), the “ecological module” (with a workshop, a lecture room, an exhibition space, a rangers room, and an information office), and the “service module” (with power plants, and plants for desalination and wastewater treatment). Of these buildings all except the “main module” were built, along with the 25 tents. The camp operated open to the public from 1993 to 1996 when it ceased to operate having been part of the assets intervened by FOGADE (Bank Deposits Social Protection Fund) following the Venezuelan banking crisis of 1994.
